“Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear Susan, happy birthday to you!”
I’m sure you’d love to hear me sing it to you, but
I won’t, simply because I’m a freak who has grown a
bit tired of hearing it over and over, as the years passed
and the number of candles grew to undesirable figures.
You know as well as I do that this is how it usually goes:
People come over to wish you happy birthday,
people urge you to make a wish before you blow,
everyone enjoys a piece of waxed cake,
and you usually clean up the mess when people leave.
What sort of “happy birthday” is that?
“Another year older, and a whole lot wiser,”
that’s what my father said to me when I turned twenty.
I’ve grown wiser with every passing year, but
have remained twenty for a good number of years.
My beautiful AP wife, that’s my wish for your birthday.
Do as I do and stay forever young: have a orgy.
I’ve ordered Marco for you—your slave, your
fountain of youth—so ask your friends over,
open that bottle of Sicilian Gold, and enjoy.

happy birthday to her... from the looks of it, she should. i think i saw that guy when i was at the beach.... oh.. maybe he was blonde. who notices hair color? jk

question:
do I have to invite anyone over? l.o.l maybe I just wont open the door or answer the phone and have a party by myself... the only problem is Chez & Juls will wait till he comes out. Me likes Sicilian Gold, my AP hubby & his wonderful words


-
I can hear an Italian accent singing happy birthday.
You do realise Friday is her birthday & she is smart on Fridays... Maybe her birthday wish should be that every day is Friday!!!
Thanks for your entry. Enjoyed the wishes for her.
